Wild Delmarva

I’m in Europe now on assignment but here’s a look back at the last summer sunrise from last year at Herring Point in Cape Henlopen State Park. The Wild Delmarva books are on their way from China and will likely be shipping the first week of November. So far, this assignment has taken me to London – Jersey (Channel Islands) – Dublin – Amsterdam – Luxembourg – Strasbourg. Tomorrow Germany. I’m going to be happy to be home signing Wild Delmarva books soon!

You can now see me and my Wild Delmarva photography every Saturday at 7:30 on WBOC-TV, channel 16. Here’s a link to the Bald Eagle segment that aired recently, just click below:

Seems odd to say that photographing this colorful Atlantic Bay Scallop along the ocean surf was a challenge but it was. The tiny shell would tumble in and out with the waves making it a very difficult subject. For this one frame, the shell, the bubbles and the sunrise light came together for a colorful photograph.

Last September a storm deposited shells and rocks on Delaware’s Atlantic beaches. Usually this spot holds only a few shells so this was an unexpected treat. I photographed this with a 14mm lens that was placed flat on the beach.

“My what big teeth you have,” would be the obvious caption for this Red Fox I found tired and yawning near sunset last August. Several Red Fox photographs made the final cut for Wild Delmarva.

If Delmarva were a state and the State of Delmarva had a bird it would certainly be the Great Blue Heron. Year-round residents here, these handsome birds with a unique silhouette can be found along the edges of many ponds, rivers and salt marshes that have fish. On days when you can’t find any other interesting wildlife on the peninsula, you can usually find a Great Blue Heron.
